With the copious support she’s received since then, Kim Slot, who is battling cancer, decided she could provide Christmas for her daughters and there might be other kids in greater need.

So, in the coming weeks, Kim Slot will accompany officers as they drop off Christmas gifts to about 35 kids in the Walker and Northview areas.

“She’s a very kind-hearted, generous, humble person,” said Walker Det. Brandyn Heugel, president of the Walker Police Officers Association.

The association teamed up with the Walker Police Department, the fallen officer family support group Thin Blue Line of Michigan and the West Michigan Crime Prevention Association to make the donations possible.

Heugel said Kim Slot, a Northview Public Schools teacher, sent her a text message Monday expressing her excitement with the project.

“Not only Kim, but all the officers here, the outpouring of support from the community has just been amazing,” Heugel said. “I think we’re all looking forward to giving to kids not only in the area Trevor protected but also the area he lived in. It’s exciting.”

Additionally, a fundraiser to help the Slot family with other financial considerations is underway at a Walker eatery.

Great Lakes Dining, which franchises the T.G.I. Friday’s at 3179 Alpine Ave., is asking customers to purchase a Friday’s Star to hang in the restaurant, with proceeds benefiting the Slots and Thin Blue Line of Michigan.

Also, 5 percent of all food and beverage sales between 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. this Saturday will benefit the two. ESPN 96.1 is slated to broadcast live and air the promotion from 2-4 p.m. Saturday, according to a news release.

Next Tuesday, Dec. 13, the restaurant is to host Charity Flair Night starting at 8 p.m., with raffles, games and a prize auction, according to the release.

“Our deepest sympathies go out to those left behind by this tragic event,” said Brandie Liceraga, general manager of the Alpine Avenue T.G.I. Friday’s, in the statement. “This fundraiser is the very least we can do in honor of Officer Slot, his family and the officers that put themselves in harm’s way to protect us every day.”
